This is a great idea. Something about seeing cars with trees growing out of them makes one ponder the story that lead to the final resting place....

I just finished up our 2017 family calendar and it got me thinking......
Printing a one off calendar at any local laser print shop is relatively inexpensive. For example I just printed ours for about $16 each, and that's in worthless Canadian dollars. Ha Ha
So here is what I'm proposing.
Submit your best photos or monthy themed 928 photos. For example a holiday themed shot for December, maybe something wintery for January, and so on.
Once I have enough shots I may post a few polls to make selections.
I will then set up the calendar in my template, and will include all major holidays for Canada and the US, and of course all 928 events (if you have one I may not know about shoot me the date and event name).
I will need a few volunteers to help with proofreading.
The only snag is I won't be able to work on this until January. But if I get enough photos before then it shouldn't take me long to build the file.
The final file will be imposition, so the printer just rips it, double sided on 11 x 17 80 or 100 lb gloss or matte.

I totally agree. Some official promotional pictures from dealer posters etc, with some cars that are given back to nature.
Here's a great one which shows new growth of spring time! head light doubles as a "ready when you need it", single portion of turkey gravy too! Simply turn on the high beams and warm for 5 minutes and serve....delish!

^^^ Awesome pic! There's a method of dating surfaces in the fields of archaeology, geomorphology, paleoflood hydrology, etc. called "lichenometry". In theory, a decent approximate age (how long the 928 has been sitting there) can be determined.
If you have larger files that you could email that would be great.

A note to anyone else that posted shots in this thread, they are ranging from 120k to 500k for most of them. These will be too small for the large photo's for each month.
If you have larger files please email them to me along with your full name for the photo credits.
